Suffixes

A suffix is a letter or a group of letters attached to the end of a word to form a new word or to change the grammatical function of the original word. For example, the verb read can be made into the noun reader by adding the suffix -er; read can be made into the adjective readable by adding the suffix -able.

प्रत्यय (Suffix) अक्षर या अक्षरो का समूह है जो किसी शब्द के आख़िर में लगाया जाता है जिससे शब्द का अर्थ परिवर्तित या बदल जाता है। प्रत्यय लगाने से क्रिया को विशेषण या क्रिया-विशेषण में बदला जा सकता है।
